While the assisted living side of The Elms was having their Holiday Party down stairs, the memory care, "The Grove" was having their own party upstairs. With musical guest Conrad on Guitar, the residents and staff sang along with him. It was a wonderful afternoon.

Poetry Corner at San Carlos Elms
Laughing Yoga?
by resident: Rosemary Bishop
The board reads "Laughing Yoga" at 2:00
to go or not to go-
A waste of time of something to do?
Yoga is joy through movement.
Have you ever experienced Laughing Yoga?
It is something hard to describe.
Is is really the same as Yoga?
Or something just implied?
Our leader from Sidney showed us what to do.
Clap hands, one clap, two claps
Faster now: one clap, two claps, three claps
Saying: HA, HA, HA, HO, HO, HO!
Find Sidney, Australia on the map.
Laughing Yoga is best done in a group.
With a leader to call the motions.
You follow like hens in a coop.
More like waves in the ocean.
Some of the participants said it was interesting.
Our leaser smiled and joked.
He seemed to try to make us laugh,
but he was no Groucho Marx or Jack Benny.

San Carlos Elms Poet Celebrates Halloween in her own words
Halloween Path
That's the Elms, and I am a Resident
It's a large building on Elm and Cherry.
To show you- I won't be hesitant.
Front door opens to sad to merry.
Walk in through a large double door.
Up a wide an impressive path.
Which begins on Elm which has car galore.
To figure the size you need advanced math.
First you see a wooden bench to the left and to the right.
Say!There's Peter's bicycle.
It's a familiar sight.
But there are no little tricycles!
There is a big pair of orange and black boots.
The super long toes are pointed and curled.
Some one's Halloween boot--
covered with sparkles and pearls.
The other side has a large black ant.
It is scary and over a foot tall.
Oh, I'm beginning to pant.
Hang tight --I might fall.
The sides are lined with pumpkins and cornstalks.
About five on each side.
Some pumpkins have funny faces
who made these with pride?
Oh! There's a hay pile
With a darling stuffed couple on top
I would walk a mile to see their sunny smile.
It must be Halloween
To have all this.
From which to run and hide
but this all treat no trick.
